Harris surrogate gives firsthand account of the ‘epic disaster’ of election night loss to Trump
Fox News.com ^ | 11/9/2024 | Gabriel Hays

DNC National Finance Committee member and Harris campaign fundraiser Lindy Li analyzed what went wrong with Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign that led to the "epic disaster" against President-elect Donald Trump this week.

Li told Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Will Cain on Saturday that multiple factors doomed the campaign in her opinion, including Biden’s choice for Harris to be his successor, the Harris campaign’s overconfidence in their polling data, and former President Obama’s delay in endorsing the vice president as the Democratic candidate.

"The truth is, this is just an epic disaster – this is a $1 billion disaster," Li declared on Saturday morning, summing up the result of the Harris campaign.

What a load. Biden didn't want to drop out, he was threatened with removal if he didn't drop out. Obama let Pelosi and Schumer do the dirty work, or perhaps they had some yet-unknown leverage on Zero to step aside.

The real reasons are, both Biden and Harris were clearly unfit for office and seen as being managed and bossed around by others.

Even his removal from the race demonstrated that.

The ones running the campaign didn’t lose “THEIR MONEY”——

They lost donation money from others.

Kamala’s campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon, blew through a billion
dollars in just a few months.......... as of now, they’re $20 million in debt.

It was Jen’s idea to do the concerts,” a Kamala campaign adviser said.

The source added that “celeb concerts,” like Katy Perry, Lizzo, Eminem, Bruce Springsteen, etc, were done at the expense of “spending money on social media and other campaign priorities.” It’s unclear if the campaign PAID the talent to perform but the cost of production for the events was “immense.”

Harris’ campaign was responsible for paying for the venues, security, staging, sound, and
other costs. A performance by Alanis Morissette was reportedly canceled to save money.


Another Kamala staffer said they didn’t pay campaign staff......several people working the “Kamala Harris for President” campaign are still awaiting several overdue payments they were promised for their work.

Apparently Georgia had to lay off 100 Harris campaign workers because they couldn’t pay them.

Don’t forget the abortion loss in FL and Ted Cruz’ survival in TX.

The wasted billion dollars should remind us that the anti Trump Lincoln Project was formed by a group of Republican political consultants who Trump cut off from the campaign gravy train. I take greater pleasure in thinking about the donations wasted on them.

This was the biggest FU to not only Kamala but also to Obama and the entire Democrat party. Her choice of clothing was NOT an accident.

One billion dollars, and the best their campaign could come up with was mainly “Trump is Hitler”.

When the massive failure of leftwing socialism hits home, that's all the commies had left to campaign on...

I love thinking about all those wonderful Democrat donors losing a billion dollars.

Yup. This election was an epic loss for Winnie the Xi.

...that multiple factors doomed the campaign ...

Well, what are the REAL 'factors' besides these lame obvious ones?

Jill wearing all red in public was as good as the Biden family lined up giving the Obama cabal the double-fisted middle finger. Safe and effective.

It’s not the money they spent. It’s the haul of loot, power and access to the globalist parties that they expected in return for their investment in a certain winner.

Gavin Gruesome could have beaten Donald Trump. He is a relentless campaigner and top rank bullshittt artist. Gavin was waiting in the wings for months. Champing at the bit for Biden to fold.
Gavin will be running in 2028.

My ideal Dems ticket for 2024, to beat Trump-Vance, was Gavin and Gretchen “the witch” Whitmer. I am serious.

For a mere ten percent of that billion I would have given them a vital policy paper with sixteen major points couched as correctives and fine tuning to Democrat ideals and she might have stood a good chance if she could recite them like her last decade of vile attack dog questions in government.

Are you asking me, or are you sending me a quote from the article for some reason? Rhetorical?
